Head of Turkish religious affairs faces backlash over ‘luxury service’ staff during Hajj - Turkish Minute
Turkey’s top imam, Ali Erbaş, and his wife, Seher Erbaş, received luxury treatment during their pilgrimage to Mecca last month, including personal chefs and ironing staff flown in from Ankara, triggering criticism over the use of public resources, the Sözcü daily reported.
While the Presidency of Religious Affairs frequently warns of “luxury and waste” in its sermons, it was reported that the President of Religious Affairs, Ali Erbaş, took his ironer with him when he went on the hajj. This practice of Erbaş brought to mind the discussion of “savings in the public sector.”
